Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The defendant contends the trial court erred in failing to give his proposed instruction to the effect that where there are two hypotheses that can reasonably be drawn from the evidence, one leading to innocence and the other leading to guilt, the former hypothesis must be followed. This type of instruction is properly given in cases where there is circumstantial evidence and inconsistent inferences of the defendant’s guilt or innocence may reasonably be drawn therefrom. Such a case is not before us. (Italics ours.) (p.986)”
